You may not see the snow in the mountain if going on summer, but Lijiang is a great summer resort. Still have to keep warm when you climb the mountain.

I just came back from a trip I took up the mountain in April. There was still plenty of snow up at the top and an INCREDIBLE view. You will not be disappointed. If you go up to the very top using the cable cars, people will try to sell you oxygen cans. You may seriously want to take them; the air was very thin and, although my friends and I are very fit and all just University Students, it was a bit tricky going up the steps and we had to take quite a few breaks. Anyway. have a great trip!
